Navigating Cross-Cultural Ethics

By Eileen Morgan

Through the personal stories of managers running global business, this book takes an inside look into the dilemmas of managers who are asked to make profits ethically according to the dictates of their company's ethics code. It examines what companies think they are doing to help managers in those situations and how those managers are actually affected. Thanks to the boost from the 1991 Sentencing Guidelines which minimizes penalties for companies with ethics codes caught in ethical wrongdoing, more than 85% of US companies and two thirds of all Canadian companies and half of all European companies now have Codes of Ethics. Yet, over and over, we hear of stories of personal dilemmas and conflicts experienced by individual managers navigating those business waters in other cultures

Great Cultural Business Resource

This was recommended by a friend in Russia as a good resource to prepare for an upcoming business trip. Ethics is a favorite study subject, and particularly so as related to how they translate in other cultures. This book has very practical examples and discussion of real business situations. Russia is an especially challenging environment in which to operate according to Western ethical standards, and this book addresses these head-on in thought-provoking terms.
